Hon Rymer asks Hon Walwyn if he has bought any bras from RT Market Square!
During the Continuation of the Twelfth Session of the Second Sitting of the Fifth House of Assembly (HoA), on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, Hon Walwyn, while criticising several things in the country, aimed at the Market Square, calling it “mess dot com”.
“That’s the worst market in the whole world, they got more brassieres flying down there than what produce they have. And look at it, we took proper prime real estate to build up some hope and think that we doing good.”
Did he buy anything?- Hon Rymer
Hitting back at Hon Walwyn’s criticism of the Market Square on December 18, 2025, during the continuation of the House, Hon Rymer said, “I don’t know if the Leader of the Opposition is just visiting those places online, as he says he always does research.”
According to the Minister, the Market Square stood dilapidated for years in a flood-prone area, was even being used by vagrants and had to be caged up. The Road Town Market Square was opened in February 2023, following a $1.3 million remodelling.
“To see the buildings there now, he said, it’s the worst he’s seen in the Caribbean. Could you imagine that?”
Hon Rymer added that small businesses are important and in the midst of Hon Walwyn’s criticism, wonders if he purchased any brassieres from vendors.
“He talk about all he’s seen is bare bras, brassieres. I wonder if he bought any of them, support the small business. No, because we must support our small businesses. You’re driving by, you see them, stop by, we have various businesses in there. All you see is brassieres. Go and support the businesses.”
He called it “unfair” when leaders belittle people who are business people.
“They are there for a reason, we’re not a country like that…what is appalling to me is the disdain from these conversations, like as if everything is so bad,” Hon Rymer said.

WITH THE CURRENT BVI ECONOMY AND OUR POPULACE BEING MAINLY DEPENDENT ON FOOD IMPORTATION FROM OUTSIDE, ROAD TOW MARKETPLACE WAS INITIALLY INTENDED TO CREATE A SPACE FOR LOCAL FARMERS AND FISHERFOLK TO MAKE THEIR GOODS AVAILABLE TO OUR COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH CLOTHING STORES AROUND.
WHEN THE BARGES DECIDE TO STOP COMING, HOW EXACTLY WILL WE BE ABLE TO EAT/NYAM OR CHOP THE CLOTHES AND OTHER NON-FOOD ITEMS BEING SOLD???
